Thinking Less to Simulate Better: Intuitive Prompting Improves LLM Agents Simulating Individual Social Media Reactions, Including Unfamiliar Content

The present study profiled eight Serbian participants through a questionnaire, a deep interview, and a written self-presentation, recorded their reactions to sixty-eight social media posts, and asked four language models to predict those reactions under five prompt conditions varying profile content and instruction sty...

Do Hackers Dream of Electric Teachers?: A Large-Scale, In-Situ Measurement of Cybersecurity Student Behaviors and Educational Performance with AI Tutors

Three broad AI tutor conversation styles are identified among students: Short (bounded, few-turn exchanges), Reactive (repeatedly submitting code and errors), and Proactive (driving problem-solving through targeted inquiry), which are significantly correlated with challenge completion and the completion-rate gap betwee...

Human- vs. AI-generated tests: dimensionality and information accuracy in latent trait evaluation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in social and psychological research. Among potential applications, LLMs can be used to generate, customise, or adapt measurement instruments. This study presents a preliminary investigation of AI-generated questionnaires by comparing t...

Voice Agents under Acoustic Stress: From Signal Degradation to Interaction and Action

Voice agents must complete users' tasks despite noise, reverberation, and competing speech. Evaluating agents' robustness therefore requires following how acoustic conditions affect the conversation and the actions taken on the user's behalf. This overview examines what existing benchmarks reveal about agents' ability...

Privacy Leakage Through AI-mediated Analysis of Smartphone Data

Priva-See is built, an LLM-based inference system for app-collected user data that reflects the best understanding of how real-life adtech companies would leverage machine learning to build user profiles, and suggests changes to how smartphone OSes should gather user consent for data access, to better inform users abou...

Make it SewSimple: Navigating UK Curriculum and Classroom Practice in Secondary Computing Education with E-textiles

This paper explores the potential of integrating e-textiles as part of the approach to delivering computing in UK secondary schools. As one of the few UK-based exploratory studies of teachers experiences, it investigates how e-textile platforms such as the SewSimple maker kit and the BBC micro:bit can be incorporated i...

Will It Teach as Intended? How Teachers Configure Educational AI Chatbots

Teachers are increasingly using generative AI to support instruction, yet it remains unclear how pedagogical intentions are translated into chatbot configurations and reflected in chatbot behavior. We studied a teacher-facing chatbot authoring tool in professional development workshops with 27 middle school teachers, a...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
